muttered to herself sobbing and then she sat down

she would come downstairs TO dine with Mrs.

dined together, but spoke very little during the
meal. When dinner over she took a walk In
KcnsinSton Gardens, where she strolcd about for
more than an hour. 1t was nearly half past 7
when she returned and then the evening passed
YEARLY away until about 10 o'clock when Mrs.
O'l'helan came up to Say that supper ready.

things and he watched her I'm perfect agony. For,
so absorbed he In the engrossing topic that
he had TO speak to Miss Seymour about that, If
she had come into the room whilst the servant
was there no could not, to save his life have found
any pretext that would have passed muster as an
excuse for having asked TO see her. At last, now
ever the table was cleared and he was left alone.
What was he to sayp All his thoughts seemed to
rise before him in an ncoherent mass, the only
unifying principle about which was his desire 10
tell her that he loved her and to ask her TO be his
wife. But how to put the matterP 1t was so
sudden, and there were so many complications
about it, lie was a clever man, and under any
ordinary circumstances nc knew 1t well enough
better perhaps, than he might have cared to con-
fcss. But at present he sat pale and trembling
with a sense OF his own impotence and audacity.
There was no getting out Of it now. Without,
practically, penny that he could call his own he
had summoned into his presence young lady to
whom he was almost stranger to ask her to
marry him secretly. and to live for years under IN
assumed name His feelings were like those Of o
debutant who Is about to face very critical
audience with strong consciousness that in doing
so he is going to do something which is unutterably
foolish and presumptuous.
In few minutes there was light tap at the
door. He turned as red as he had been pale, and
having opened the door, asked Miss Seymour, who
was dressed in white muslin polonaise, and who
looked, he thought, more spiritual and statuesque
than ever, to come and sit down. She was per-
fectly calm and sclf-possessed, and his thoughts
seemed 10 concentrate themselves in her presence.
| Iaviny taken chair at some distance from her,
| ne sat down and commenced by saying that he
wished speak to her on very important matter.
| Then he told her, with fuency and conciseness
| which surprised himself who he was, how he was
| situated, and what his prospects were So far he
spoke easily and pointedly and she listened with
evident attention and surprise. When he got over
what l may term the historical part the inter
Wow he faltered and seemed for minute at a loss
how to introduce the subject to which the exordium
had been leading. Perhaps She anticipated what IL
was. for she WAS very pale, and kept her eyes
steadily fixed on the floor. At length, as II by
strong effort he said miss Seymour i do trust
that you viii not think me guilty of objectionable
presumption. have liberal allowance at present.
My father, as have told y0u is an old man with
stupid ideas about my marrying into some aristo-
cratic family-a thing never thought of doing. In
